Turkey hunting

With turkey hunting season coming around, I thought that I would share some of the fun I had when I went turkey hunting in New York. So this is more of a memory that happened years ago but the way to do it is to wake up very early in the morning and then quietly go to a site where you think the turkeys will come. Normally, only the male turkeys known as toms are allowed to be hunted unless you have a bearded female turkey known as a bearded hen. My friend knew the ins-and-outs of turkey hunting so he already set up a blind (a tent) to hide in so all it meant was that we had to go out there set up some decoys and wait for them to show up.

This process can take a long time to get the turkeys to come in and I’ve been in those times where I didn’t see anything. But when they come in, they are attracted to the gobble-gobble and hen pecking sounds and wow, what a feeling that is to have them come in and bam!

But when everything comes together, it’s a great feeling to have them in my sights and pow! I’ve shot and down goes a turkey. 2 turkeys for me in 2 days! Can’t beat that! And the way to cook it? Fry it up with Italian bread crumbs!
